I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Luo Yang and his group, like a persistent leech, relied on their superior cultivation and familiarity with the terrain to keep a long distance behind Ji Zhou and his group, like a tired pack of wolves waiting for their prey.

After running for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the surrounding trees grew taller and denser, the light became dimmer, and an ancient and damp scent filled the air.

They have gradually penetrated into the area where the outer and central parts of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts meet.

"The terrain ahead is more complicated, be careful," Ji Zhou slowed his pace and warned.

The area is characterized by jagged rocks and ancient vines, severely obstructing visibility and making it an ideal location for ambushes and surprise attacks.

Sure enough, just as they were passing through a natural obstacle formed by fallen giant trees, another strange event occurred!

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Several sharp whooshing sounds came from the treetops to the side!

This time, instead of crossbow bolts, they were several thin needles that shimmered with a ghostly blue light and were clearly coated with deadly poison!

It has a wider coverage, is faster, and is extremely covert!

"Left!" Ji Zhou shouted sharply. He was prepared and pushed Ye Chuhan to the right. At the same time, he bent his body backward as if he had no bones, narrowly avoiding most of the poison needles!

But one still grazed his left arm, leaving a trail of blood droplets, and a tingling, itchy sensation immediately came from the wound!

"Poisonous!" Ji Zhou's expression changed slightly. He immediately used his spiritual power to seal the blood vessels in his left arm and prevent the poison from spreading.

"Damn it! You're relentless!" Ye Chuhan cursed angrily, swinging his short blade to deflect several poison needles aimed at him.

Jizhou gritted his teeth. These guys were always launching attacks from the shadows and hiding, never showing themselves. They were not easy to deal with.

The situation is now completely under the control of these people, and they absolutely cannot afford to be worn down here.

Ji Zhou's eyes darkened. Since he couldn't fight them fair and square, he had to quickly move to a new place and shake off these people!

He quickly sent a telepathic message to Ye Chuhan: "Does your sect have any treasures that can conceal one's aura or physical form? Did you bring any with you this time? If so, use them quickly. Let's move to a new area first, completely shake off these people, and then disguise ourselves as other people. We'll definitely be able to temporarily avoid them."

Ye Chuhan thought about it carefully for a moment, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her. "I remember now!"

He immediately reached for his storage ring.

A flash of light appeared in Ye Chuhan's hand, and a gauze robe, as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent, appeared in his hand. It was covered with spiritual light and faint cloud patterns.

"This is a concealment veil. Once worn, it can distort light and conceal one's aura. Unless one gets too close or the spiritual energy fluctuations are too intense, it is difficult for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to detect it."

Ye Chuhan quickly unfolded the gauze robe and draped it over himself. His figure immediately became blurred, and his aura weakened significantly.

Seeing this, Ji Zhou took the other garment from Ye Chuhan without hesitation and quickly put it on.

A cool sensation enveloped his entire body, and he felt as if he were more integrated with his surroundings. Even the numbness and itching from the wound on his left arm seemed to have lessened.

“It’s useful, but not enough!” Ji Zhou’s eyes sharpened as he sensed the several auras rapidly approaching from behind. “They’ve locked onto this area. We must create even greater chaos and completely cut off their pursuit!”

"Understood!" Ye Chuhan nodded emphatically, instantly understanding Jizhou's intention.

The two exchanged a glance, and an unspoken understanding arose spontaneously.

Almost simultaneously, Ji Zhou's body surged with azure wind spirit power, and Ye Chuhan also took out several talismans without hesitation. This time, they were Gale Talismans, specially designed to stimulate airflow and create wind pressure!

"Attack!" Ji Zhou roared, thrusting his hands forward with all his might, unleashing his spiritual power without reservation!

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

A powerful whirlwind suddenly formed around the two of them!

At the same time, Ye Chuhan activated all the Gale Talismans in his hand. The violent wind attribute spiritual power was like a spark thrown into a pot of oil, instantly merging with the whirlwind created by Jizhou, and its power increased dramatically!

In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sky darkened!

The dead branches, leaves, dust, and gravel on the ground were violently swirled up, and the large trees that would take several people to encircle were also blown violently, with branches and leaves being torn off the trunks as if by invisible giant hands and mixed into the whirlwind.

A massive sandstorm tornado, over ten zhang in diameter, filled with countless debris and completely impenetrable to the naked eye, suddenly appeared in this forest!

This sudden, massive whirlwind, far exceeding the scale of ordinary spells, not only completely obscured the vision of Luo Yang and the others, but the violent and chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy also severely interfered with their divine sense perception and aura locking.

"Damn it! They're trying to escape!"

Enraged, Luo Yang slammed his palm against a nearby tree, causing the trunk to shatter instantly.

He tried to penetrate the sandstorm with his divine sense, but the chaotic energy within made him dizzy and unable to accurately pinpoint the locations of Ji Zhou and Ye Chuhan.

"Senior Brother Luo Yang, the wind is too strong! I can't even probe in with my divine sense!" his subordinate shouted anxiously.

"Spread out! Go around them! They can't get far!" Luo Yang roared in frustration, ordering his men to try to flank them from both sides.

However, in the short span of time that they were blocked by the artificial sandstorm and frantically searching for a way out, Ji Zhou and Ye Chuhan, shrouded in veils, had already, like ghosts, taken advantage of the last momentum of the whirlwind and the cover of the dust, and silently fled away in a direction slightly off from the core area, increasing their speed to the maximum.

In a few leaps and bounds, the two figures completely disappeared into the depths of the dense and complex mountain forest, leaving behind only the gradually calming but still chaotic forest behind them, and Luo Yang and his group, who were filled with impotent rage.

Successfully, the cicada shed its shell.

Ye Chuhan felt great as the surroundings finally became empty.

"Hahaha, these idiots, let's see how they catch up now!"

Ji Zhou then warned cautiously, "Don't be so happy yet. Quickly change out of your clothes and hide your identities. We mustn't be discovered again."

"Okay!" Ye Chuhan agreed, busy with his work while complaining, "I reckon the people who came looking for us this time are from the Qingcheng Yufa Sect. Otherwise, why would they keep hiding in the shadows and making their move instead of coming out to meet us?"

Jizhou frowned and said, "It should be, but now is not the time for us to have a direct conflict with them. It's more important to complete what Ming Ge asked us to do and quickly build up our reputation."

Ye Chuhan nodded: "Okay! I'll do whatever you say."

The two quickly found a secluded crevice in the rocks, and after confirming that the surroundings were safe, they immediately began to change their appearance.

Ye Chuhan took out two sets of coarse cloth clothes that were completely different from the previous ones from her storage ring, and then took out some bottles and jars. She began to mix some simple ointments that could temporarily change skin color, hair color and even make subtle adjustments to facial contours.
